And now it’s time for the New Year 2024 Resolutions

And now it’s time for the New Year 2024 Resolutions

Today, on January the 11th, we have an auspicious New Moon in Capricorn.

The new Moon is at 20° Capricorn and it is trine Uranus and sextile Neptune, bringing creative vision and a dose of magic to our aspirations and dreams.

The Capricorn New Moon is THE best time to come up with New Year’s resolutions. 

Have you already set your 2024 intentions? You can still use the potent energy of this lunation to revise and refine them.

Seriously, if there is one time to plan for the future, this is it. Even if you’re not big on New Moon intention-setting, give this one a try.

Not only is this New Moon particularly auspicious – but the New Moon (the Sun and the Moon) allies with the most resourceful and productive planets: Mars and Pluto. Mars is actually exalted in Capricorn – which means it’s particularly resourceful – and Pluto is the planet of power and resilience.

These are the last days of Pluto in Capricorn; we will never have another New Moon in Capricorn with Pluto in the sign for the rest of our lives. If you have an ambitious goal NOW it’s the time to pursue it.

This Capricorn season, let’s plan for the future like a Capricorn. 

This means, not just setting goals (Sagittarius) and then waiting for things to happen. It means committing to actually doing the work to achieve those goals.

We all have plans that didn’t go through. Ambitious goals that failed. So we might feel a bit reluctant to face ‘another disappointment’.

Why do we fail to achieve our goals? 

There are 2 main issues: a) lack of clarity around the type of intentions that best serve our unique path and b) lack of commitment to making these happen.

  1. a) Lack Of Clarity

Society bombards us with aspirational goals around what it means to be successful: having a family, a successful career or business, having a certain number of Social Media followers, or a certain level of fitness.

The issue with these goals is that they are not necessarily ours. It’s what we believe will make us feel happy and accomplished – it’s not actually what will make us feel happy and accomplished.

In our natal chart, the Midheaven, the Sun and the North Node give us hints into our unique path, and the type of qualities our soul is called to expand into.

Sometimes it’s difficult to figure out what these qualities are, or what exactly it is that we need to do to fulfill our path. 

“What is your purpose in life?”.

This is such a tough question. Many of us have no idea what our purpose in life is.

If you feel confused or lack clarity around your path, here is one exercise I always recommend: make a list of 3-5 people you deeply admire, and then look for some common traits or qualities they share.

THESE are the qualities you are asked to develop. This is the highest version of yourself, this is the potential you’ve been designed to grow into.

Whatever we find aspirational, these qualities and achievements resonate because we know at a deeper level that we are absolutely capable of achieving them. If you wouldn’t be able to do it, you wouldn’t find it aspirational.

“If you can dream it, you can become it”

  1. b) Lack Of Commitment 

The second reason why people don’t achieve their goals is that they don’t put in the work to make them happen. 

In Sagittarius, we formulate our vision and our goals. In the next sign, Capricorn, we employ the discipline and persistence to make them happen.

This is of course, not easy. Change requires a high energy consumption, and our brain is literally wired to consume as little energy as possible. That’s why we give up, falling back into old patterns of behavior.

However, if we want something to change in our lives, we need to put in the work. There’s really no other way. 

All the successful people I know, absolutely all of them – including those who don’t want to show it, or admit it – are very hard workers. They have become successful because they have committed to their goals, and have worked hard to achieve them.

And by “hard work” I don’t mean working 16 hours a day every day – this is oftentimes a symptom of running away from the real issues, by burying yourself in work.

By “hard work” I mean committing yourself to reaching your “next level” – whatever that means for you. Facing your demons. Trying things out – knowing that failure and rejection are an inevitable part of the process. Pushing through resistance even when you don’t feel like it. Having a great work ethic. Wanting to achieve some sort of excellence in what you do. Caring about the quality of your work and about the people you are serving.

New Moon In Capricorn – Bring Your Vision To Reality

When we follow our path the “Capricorn way” i.e. without shortcuts, we may not be an “overnight success”. Real mastery takes time.

However, when we build our skills and knowledge sustainably, then success that eventually materializes is also sustainable. 

It doesn’t come and go. Real success, built on real mastery, is there to stay.

Capricorn is THE sign of the zodiac that excels at both a) and b), so the New Moon in Capricorn is really the best time of the year to embody Capricorn’s discipline and persistence and bring your vision to reality.

2024 has the potential to be an extraordinary year.

Let’s commit to the disciplined work needed to make our goals a reality!
